The Arkansas Methodist thus refers to the work to be done, and the things to be left undone by the present legislature:
 What legislation is needed? First, destroy the free pass and pass the law required by the con stitution. Secondly, we need aud mast have d convention to make a new constitution. Our present constitution was made immediately after reconstruction and is entire. ly too marrow to meet the wants of our growing State. Change our mortgage laws, but don't under take to destroy them, for that is impossible. Men have right to mortgage their property and they will do it. Bring the system into proper bounds and let both par ties understand what they are do. ing. Let the farmer know by prop er exemption to what he Is enti- tied, in case of failure of what to depend on when he is selling his goods. See to it that all railroads come to three cents per mile for first class passage. Where it can be done without interfering with charter rights. Do not impose any additional taxation on railroads manufactures or capital, they all need and must have protection. E Let there be no more stolen bills, or lost ones. Amend our road laws. Be certain to make provis- ion for mining and agricultural bureau. Do not convert the legis- laturs into q singing school. Let all wad fingers go to the rear. Let this be a real working legislature.
 The free pass will undoubtedly go the way of all the earth. As to d convention to frame q new consti. tuition, we believe it necessity, but the egiSlatureture may think otherwise. We are sure, however, that body will give the subject n full and thorough investigation. such as its merits demand Alto ge;her the outlook tor wise and practical legislation is good.

Saturday, while in Little Rock :, we were present and heard the evidence in the case of Judge C. F.. Michel, of this Judicial circuit, in the police court, for carrying a pistol and disturbing the peace. IL seems that C. F. Mitch el met Prof. James Mitchell, editor of the Arkansas Daily Democrat, iii a barber shop in front of the Capital hotel. and demanded explanation in raference to a personal matter, saying Prof M, had uttered q .'rroSs untruthn Prot. NJ told him he wanted to have nc strouble with him and if he e. F.. M.) would bring Judge Williams te his office the matter would be arranged peaceahly. Then Prof M, turned toward the door, when C. E. Mitch. el stepped in front of him and called him a "d- liar" when Prof NJ. very properly gave his insulIer a sound drubbing, bruising him up considerably in the face. In the melee. Judge Mitchell drew a 42 caibrt Colts pistol from his pock- et. which was taken away from him. In the police cou,t both were fined Sl0 and cost for disturbing the peac; Judge Mitchell claiming to be a traveller, no case was made against him for carrying the pistol. It is a sad commentary on law and order. when all Arkansas Judge has tu carry a pistol to the State Capital. The Legislature should investigate this matter, and, If d visitors life Is imperilled a' our State capital, see that the city is better policed. and Il this is not the case, impeach the Judge. This is our opinion, can didly expressed.

 The chief advocate of the Boy colt "AnsIey of the Dispatch" is now being boycotted because of his opinions in favor of prohibition. Right funny, isn't it? However, if the farmers Ga large number of whom he has threatened, in the last two issues of his paper to sue and put in jail for non-payment of subscription should join in the Boycott. he would feel it sensibly, and probably change his views as 10 it's juslitiability.
 Harry Watkins, the w-boy evan gelist lectured at the Metho- dist church here Monday night. The Philadelphia Standard of Sat urday. (he lectured there last week described him as follows: The evangelist is a tall, smooth-shaven young man, clad in the conventions al garb of the cloth, and possess ing pleasant although slightly exaggerated delivery. An air of earnestness pervades his entire discourse which is a singular com pound of classical quotation and wild western idloms."
 THAT BoYCoTT.-It is hardly necessary for Us 10 notice an un- signed, irresponsible circular, put ont in this section Saturday. The fatherless circular asks that the following persons be boycotted be- cause of their temperance views: Rev. Mr. Moore of Philadelphia, kanawah, of Emmet, Parson Ben Steel, Nevada, Parsons Traylor and Hays of Prescott, Messrs Ben To gan, Wiley A. Hatley, w. E. At kinson, F. s. Carson, N. T. Rich mond, J. Hawkins, o. $. Jones, Dr. Henton, Ansley of the Dis. patch, Gardner of the Picayune." II the whisky men did put the circular out, as many think, it will work to the advantage of prohibi. bition and not to the detriment of the parties named. This Boycott is Supremely ridiculous. We will keep the copy of the circular sent us as relic.

After a Prolonged Struggle.

In 1864 I contracted blood pois- on. Since that time l have suffer ed tortures from an affection ofthe skin, rheumatism, and ulcerating sores. During those long years ot disease I underwent treatment at the hands of leading physicians in Norwich, Hartford, Providence, Boston and Chicago. Failing to get relief at one place, l would go to another, but met me with the same treatment and effect every where. The quantities of mercury and potash l have taken have not done me any good, but l believe it has done done much harm. have been taking $. $. $. xix weeks and it is hard to believe my own feelings, though the fact that it has done more for me in that short time than all other medicines have in twenty years is plain and unde- niable. Six weeks ago was a total wreck, without hope. Now that l have taken fourteen bottles of $. 5. $. my rheumatism is among the things of the past, and the scars only show that l was diseas. ed. When l began taking Swift's Specific there was a large eating ulcer over my right eye which alarmed me greatly, and no one who saw it thought l would ever get well. Like the other it is gone and thank God for the creation of the Swift Specific Co.,, and their great remedy.

/ A rather interesting point relating
to the issue of free passes under the
Interstate Commerce bill has JUST
been raised by Mr.. Charles +. Adams
the president of the Union Paolhc
Railroad Company. Mr.. Adams, in
instructions to the general manager
of the company, interpreted the act
as prohibiting the giving OF free
passes to persons not connected with
the service of the company or travel
ing upon business in which 1T has no
interest. Mr.. Adams has asked ex-
Judge Dillon, the general counsel OF
the Union Pacific Company, whether
his view of the law is correct, and the
latter has given an opinion holding
that railroad companies subject to
the provisions of the act are prohibit
ed from issuing free passes for travel
not disconnected with inter state
communication or commerce. This
is an Interpretation of the law which
will doubtless sadden large number
of industrious travellers, Legislators
and others, but it will probably COM
mend itself to many railroad mana
gers, as it undoubtedly will to Mr..
Adams. That gentleman has always
regarded the free pass system as an
outrage. AS may be recollected, in
his testimony before the Cullen Com
mittee he declared that, in conse-
quence of the issue of free passes,
10 per cent. or more had to be charg-
ed to those who do pay fares to make
up for those who do not.

CARSON tribune: The bill intro
duced in the Senate for the recording

ridiculous, but for the reason of the
popularity of its provisions, for it
must apply not only to the white
population but to Indians and Chi
nese.

BABY Talk.

Senator Stanford behaves like {
baby when he talks about housing
his engines, side-tracking his cars
stopping operations aud. declaring
that while He has his health, he can
earn q living and his family will not
want for bread or shelter. Such
stuff is not only silly beyond descrip-
ton, but it is as ungrateful as it is
silly. A bill has passed Congress
and become law calculated to more
fully assert the authority of the Gov
eminent over corporations. There is
a division of sentiment as to what its
effect will be on railroad earnings.
Jay Gould, the heaviest individual
owner of railroads, approves of it..
Senator Stanford does not, and he
takes occasion to pose as an injured
man liable to be reduced 30 beggary.
Outside of his roads, he has land
enough for an empire; he has prince
ly houses in different cities; he has
millions of dollars in securities alto
gether outside of his roads. 1t is
said his Washington stables cost
100000. Twenty-Five years ago he
was not worth $4,000. What he
has made has been possible through
the liberallty of the Government of
the United States and the patronage
of the people. He has not chick or
child, but because a bill has been
passed by the Congress of the United
States which he does not happen to
he at once forgets all the
unexampled opportunities that have
been his; forgets the millions that
stuff to bursting his strong box, I'M
AGNES himself a pauper and talks
about earning bread for his family.
1t is altogether the weakest, silliest
cant that we ever heard from Cali
and 1t will cause blush of
shame to warm the cheeks of Cover
nor Stanford's friends the country
over.- Salt Lake Tribune.
